Complete your Summer outfits with these 3 items Every. Single. Time

It’s the season for long days and hot temp(ers). Being a Mom however, those two are all year long. Luckily this weekend provided us with numerous opportunities to get out and make lasting memories. Friday started with a movie in the backyard with the kids and then Saturday brought us to the park and playground. Finally to close out the weekend, we went to the beach for a little surfing and drinking of the sun. I decided to bring an extra outfit for the farmers market. I chose my absolute favorite pieces that complete almost everything in my closet.

When it comes to dressing, you already know. I’m a minimalist at heart. Although I don’t think my closet reflects that of an true minimal woman, I steer clear from obtrusive purchases that will throw my closet off track. That fuels my perpetual need for certain things and eases my thoughts on items that would just rot on a hanger.

Instead I opt for really great accessories that substitute as seasonal staples. These three items complete almost any Summer outfit:

It’s probably obnoxious that I wear this hat so much. But that also means that I love it! I can only go a few days without washing my hair so that last day deserves a hat. And I’ve gotten so many compliments on this straw goody! In fact, it’s old but provides so much use it makes my carbon footprint small which in turn, gives me joy.

I finally found the cutest pair of Sunnies that flatter my face. I’ve always been weird about sunglasses. But I’ve been doing more reading on protecting my eyes so I had to find a pair I’d actually wear. I found these darling glasses at forever 21 for the same price I pay for a coffee. The tortoiseshell color goes with everything seeing as terra-cotta hughes are big this season.

Finally, that brings me to my last accessory. My Espadrille slides in leopard print. Don’t let the pattern scare you away. Page 324 of the fashion Bible clearly states that any animal print can be swapped for a neutral. Can I get an amen! And these luxe flats make me feel so polished! Just make sure that your pant is cropped around your ankle to show off your shoes.
